Having high self-control is associated with intelligence, according to studies. In one famous study called the “marshmallow test,” children were asked to choose between an immediate but smaller reward and a later but larger reward, and those who chose the latter, and exercised self-control, later scored higher on intelligence tests. Another study concerning students whose intelligence and self-control were measured showed that having self-control was more than two times more important than intelligence when projecting their GPA or academic achievement. Self-control and delayed gratification were also tested in chimpanzees, where the resistance to temptation displayed by the chimps was seen as a sign of generalized intelligence.
